What is Dihydromyrcenol CAS 18479-58-8?

Dihydromyrcenol CAS 18479-58-8 is a clear, colorless fragrance raw material with a fresh citrus-lime, lavender, and lightly floral odor. It is also called 2,6-dimethyloct-7-en-2-ol or dihydromyrcenyl alcohol, with molecular formula C10H20O and a molecular weight of about 156.27.

Why is Dihydromyrcenol used as a linalool alternative?

It offers a similar fresh floral-citrus character but is usually more stable in high-pH bases such as soap, detergent, bleach, and other functional products. This stability, combined with a competitive cost profile, makes it a practical replacement for linalool in industrial perfumery.

What are the main fragrance applications of CAS 18479-58-8?

It is used as a fresh top note in fine fragrances, colognes, shampoos, shower gels, deodorants, laundry detergents, bar soaps, and household or industrial cleaners. It contributes a clean citrus effect while helping mask base-odor notes.

What are the key specifications of the fragrance and cosmetic grade?

Typical export specifications include a GC assay of at least 99.0%, specific gravity around 0.825-0.835 at 20 C, refractive index around 1.439-1.443, acid value no more than 1.0 mg KOH/g, and a closed-cup flash point near 76 C.

How should Dihydromyrcenol CAS 18479-58-8 be stored?

Store it in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area in tightly sealed containers away from heat, sparks, and direct light. It is insoluble in water and soluble in ethanol and common fragrance solvents, so containers should be kept closed to prevent oxidation and odor loss.

Product Description

Dihydromyrcenol (DHM) CAS 18479-58-8, also called dihydromyrcenyl alcohol, is a fragrance alcohol with the molecular formula C10H20O and EINECS 242-362-4.

Synonyms: 2,6-Dimethyl-7-octen-2-ol; Dihydromyrcenyl alcohol; 7-Octen-2-ol, 2,6-dimethyl-; DHM; Myrcenol dihydrate.

CAS: 18479-58-8.

Molecular formula: C10H20O.

It is a colorless clear liquid with a powerful, fresh citrus-lime, lavender odor.

GC assay is not less than 99.0%, specific gravity about 0.825-0.835 (20 °C), and refractive index about 1.439-1.443 (20 °C).

Acid value is not more than 1.0 mg KOH/g, flash point about 76 °C (closed cup), and boiling point about 195-200 °C.

It is insoluble in water and soluble in 3 volumes of 70% ethanol.

In fine fragrances it is a fresh top note in men’s colognes and unisex perfumes for a clean, modern citrus effect.

In soap and detergent perfumery it is used in laundry detergents and bar soaps for excellent high-pH stability.

In personal care it is used in shower gels, shampoos, and deodorants for refreshing scent and non-discoloring properties.

In industrial cleaners it is used in household cleaners to mask chemical odors and provide long-lasting freshness.

Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse, tightly sealed and away from heat, sparks, or open flames; protect from light.

Wear nitrile gloves, safety goggles, and protective clothing; ensure adequate mechanical ventilation.

Avoid direct contact and prolonged inhalation of concentrated vapors; wash hands thoroughly after handling.

Every batch is analyzed by GC for impurity profiling and refractometry, under IFRA standards for cosmetic-grade raw materials.

Confirm appearance, odor, assay, specific gravity, refractive index, acid value, flash point, packaging, and grade as required.
